Anti-immigrant! :rotfl: and speaking of overactive imaginations...:rotfl:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana
Barbarian observes:
And yet, Christians have been as savage to others (and to each other) as Muslims are to others (and to each other).
If you are inclined to evil, any ideology will do.
Steko observes:
Yep.
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

When I was 18 my best friend was like "Hey man, let's go get tattoos", and I said no.
Because I was afraid that I would pick something, an then maybe a few years later, the New Nazis would start, and then pick the same thing as their logo.
Like all of a sudden ,there are tanks rolling across Europe with the San Antonio Spurs logo on the side of them, and I look like some huge ........
So I didn't do it, and he made fun of me, and went and got a tattoo by himself.
Do you wanna know what tattoo my best friend got?
He got a tattoo of the name of his favorite metal band... Isis.
Have you ever won an argument 12 years later? It feels great.

There are no small number of TOLers that feel the same lust for theocracy.
I think lusting after power and control over other people is universal and is a sickness that infects Islam and Christianity, equally. Not as much the other big religions, though.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Theres that pesky absolute claim of authority...
You have to distinguish between people and ideology. Christianity doesn't call for it. Christ was fairly clear as to what he expected of us and it wasn't raising up a new Holy Empire.
I'd say you're right about people in general, or rather some people in any general group, but not about the distinction between religions.

Purex refuses to recognize that authority. His own authority is quite self-sufficient, just ask him.
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
The problem always comes down to people thinking that they've been given the authority to assume God's place.

We MADs do not. We simply quote Him, but that seems to be infuriating enough to people like you.
Do you have a problem with Catholic popes - and priests, for that matter - purporting to be essentially Christ on earth, as far as their followers are concerned?

Matthew 10:40
Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.
Matthew 25:40
Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
John 13:20
Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.
Galatians 4:14
And even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.

Jesus himself said that when anyone receives his representative, that is equal to receiving Jesus himself. And Paul commended the Galatians for welcoming him "as if I were Christ Jesus himself."

Denial isn't going to do you much good.
Except when it doesn't fit your new doctrines:
Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heaven and the earth
I know, "well, that one isn't supposed to be taken literally." Cafeteria Christians like you pick and chose what verses they want to believe.
We're used to people inventing things we're supposed to believe. God says the world would hate us, and you do. Set your resentment and envy aside, make your peace with Him, and you'll no longer feel the need to hate us.

"When you did it for the least of these, you did it for me." We are, all of us who believe in Him.

Connie explains why he thinks Jesus is not being realistic:
How on Earth could we spread the word of God, without political domination? Hint: start with the Acts of the Apostles.
Acts 1:6 They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? [7] But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power: [8] But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth. [9] And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight. [10] And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.
Have some faith in God for a change, Connie. What Caesar has, is unworthy of your worship.
